The Center is implementing access to databases of critical information for winning business strategies.  These databases will be available free of charge at the workstations in the user resource libraries at both the Baltimore and Rockville offices.

We have concentrated on the following areas:

• Scientific programs and subject matter expertise
• Intellectual property opportunities
• Capital formation strategies
• Market assessment
• Competitor intelligence

Utilization of the databases is on an appointment-only basis. Please call  or email us to schedule an appointment at either our Baltimore or Rockville location.
